Road Closures Announced for Boxer Super Run Durban
Durban’s beachfront will come alive on Sunday, 18 October 2026, when thousands of runners take to the streets for the Boxer Super Run. To ensure the safety of participants, spectators and other road users, temporary road closures and traffic restrictions will be implemented along the route.
The race will start on Snell Parade, near the Blue Lagoon, and head towards Suncoast. Runners will then turn right into Battery Beach Road, followed by a right turn into the southbound lane of Masabalala Yengwa Avenue. At Moses Mabhida Stadium, the route turns right onto the promenade before runners make their way back along the beachfront to the finish venue at the Blue Lagoon Lawns.
Music and entertainment will take place at the venue and along the route between 06h30 and 14h00. Road-closure preparations will begin from 03h00 on race day, with the route expected to be clear by 12h30.
Metro Police officers and event marshals will manage traffic and assist road users throughout the event to help ensure the safety of participants, spectators and the public.
“The safety of our runners, spectators and road users is our priority,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. “We encourage everyone travelling in the area to plan ahead, take note of the temporary closures and allow extra time for their journeys.”...
